Do Design is a unique, street wide event held during design week in Toronto. The works of contemporary designers (furniture, objects, architectural and graphic design are all considered) are to be showcased in a diverse variety of storefronts, cafe’s, walk-ups or windows of participating business venues in the Trinity Bellwoods Business Improvement Area (Dundas St West between Bathurst and Grace streets).

Now in its fifth year, Do Design highlights contemporary design culture in a vibrant neighbourhood during design week and is a feature exhibit of the Toronto Design Offsite Festival. We invite your participation in an exciting program described as one of design week’s “not to miss” events.
